Sold on pistonheads for £6,500 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3645080.htm

Now back up for £9,450 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3696275.htm

Might ring him and offer him £6,600 for it biggrin

Surely its madness to put it back up for sale so soon after its been sold on the same site for much less?!

At least the spelling on the first ad was better and also not shouty like the second.

I guess the buyer either lost his nerve or is looking to screw everyone over?

No one is going to clock a car for 500 miles, so I am going to assume a rounding on the mileage.

As for the price increase; chancer looks to make a profit on an open sports car in the spring shock.

Bit blatantly opportunistic (and now overpriced) but believe that is how capitalism works?

Don't think I will be buying tho.

Screwing everyone over how?

He is a dealer/trader who has bought cheap to sell high.

Ah i see. So someone who resells an item with the aim of making profit is the same as screwing "everyone" over?

That's a cheap car at the second price, at the first one it wasn't bought, it was stolen!
